The art of travelling with respect
Wildlife
Viewing wildlife in their natural habitat can be one of the most incredible travel experiences any of us can have. Whether you have always longed to see an elephant or want a chance to see the endangered Mountain Gorilla, we can help you get closer to your dream. This is a list of some of the animals and birds which travellers are more commonly looking for. Here you will find our suggestions as to where you might find them.
If you have a passion to see wildlife not on the list, by all means let us know and we''d be glad to advise you.
Chimpanzees
These intelligent animals differ from humans by just over 1% of DNA and, not surprisingly, have behaviour patterns very similar to us, forming close social groups, using tools, working as a team and waging war against each other.
Gorillas
Gorillas are the largest primates on earth, and have captured the imagination of humans for centuries, though the mountain gorilla wasn't known to science until 1902. Found in dense forests and rainforests in just four national parks in Uganda and Rwanda, mountain gorilla numbers are small - possibly around a thousand.
Hippos
Hippos live in family groups led by a dominant male, who will fight to protect his mating territory. They are the third heaviest land animal in the world, yet in spite of its massive bulk, a hippo is remarkably agile in water - and surprisingly fast on land!
